While DNI, Tulsi Gabbard launched an investigation to dig up proof of Donald Trump’s endlessly repeated lie that voting machines stole the 2020 election from him. What she found instead was that some states are running outdated equipment that ought to be patched, and that there’s no evidence anywhere that a single vote was flipped or manipulated. This federal intelligence report is reportedly sitting in a drawer, and being deliberately withheld before this November's election.
Reuters revealed last month that White House officials have spent months refusing to authorize its release, even as the 2026 midterms come barreling toward us. The current administration apparently intends to use it to sow confusion and doubt, so they can prevent unfavorable results from being certified.
I urge you to demand that the ODNI report be released now, while there’s still time to patch the systems it describes, instead of being saved as a weapon for October to set aside our votes. Democracy is worth preserving, and history and the rest of the world is watching.
